eConespondencc Of the Richmond Dispatch.l
NoRFoLK, August IL, 1887.
This morning, near Pigs Point, the
body Of Dennis Edwards (colored),
who, IL Is supposed, was murdered by
Miles Wilson, who is now in Jail in
Suffolk, was exhumcd by Justice
Moore, Of Nansemond, for the purpose
OF ascertaining whether the skull was
crushed or other evidence OF fatal
blows, as alleged by the prosecution.
No marks OF fatal blows were found.
The accused is awaiting another trial,
and is defended by Captain John II.
Wright, and it is believed that Ed
wards. who was an old man and subject
TO fits, had become exhausted in trying
to subdue brush fire that had broken
cut in the field and fell in the fire and
was burned to death. 1t is claimed
that Wilson killed Edwards and then
burned the body.
NAVAL CONSTRUCTION.
The allowance OF $4,000 for add.
iional tool and plant at the maynard
leads TO the hope that the Government
intends to put the naval establishment
here. in q condition to do improved
building, when in the future in
fuence enough can be exerted to bring
q ship South to be built. Before the
war some of the finest ships in the old
navy were built here, and skilled work
men are still plentiful here to do any
kind of naval construction the Govern
ment may order here, and at cheaper
rates.

City Hall was crowded to its utmost capac-
ity Saturday evening in response to a call, to
get an expression of the citizens in regard to
reduction of the valuation of the cotton
factory as a basis of taxation. Governor
Bodwell was chosen chairman, and in pre-
senting the matter, strongly advocated a lib
eral policy towards this, and any other indus
try in regard to taxation. The general
expression of the meeting was in accord with
that policy, but it was decided best not to
advise the assessors in regard to the matter,
as it is wholly in their jurisdiction, and they
no doubt will act largely on the Judgment Of
the business men of the place. Mr.. j. W.
WelIman of Boston was here in the interests
of Mr. Payson the principal owner in the
property.
